- hosting a mailing list

before everyone gets worried about the idea of membership in NCF, perhaps they would be willing to allow starting a mail list that would allow Non NCF members, or Non NCF addresses to participate.? (My NCF ID is AA508 so I have been using the site for a while.)

ZIMBRA is what the NCF uses for their web mail service. it is not used as an e-mail processing system. Many NCF users are not technical, and I am sure some JUST use the web mail interface. for me it is a third level backup when e-mail seems fuzzy

I imagine this item is knowing what packages they could run that would give the users much the same access to their mail. without migrating to a closed version of ZIMBRA. (with simmalar security and convenience features.) the mail back-end and Spam filter at NCF is quite robust, although it deliberately slows reception of mail to avoid fly by night spam.
